DD aged 10 was diagnosed as T1D this week. She rarely stays with her dad - usually one night a month.
In the past he's tried to send her back when she's had a headache (back in the good old days when all she needed was calpol) but now I'm so worried that he won't cope with carb counting and insulin dosing.
How do I reassure myself he's ready to have her? Our care team have offered him training but there's a huge gap between training and reality (as I know as I'm going through that in our first few days home)
All advice welcome xx
